Question

Here is an example of an array that is output:

Array ( [CART] => Array ( [ITEMS] => Array ( [0] => Array ( [product_id] => 269194 [variation_id] => 0 [options] => Array ( ) [quantity] => 1 [product_name] => 15 Top Hits for Easy Piano [product_code] => HL102668 [product_price] => 14.9900 [original_price] => 14.9900 [default_currency] => 1 [customer_group] => [product_fields] => Array ( ) ) [1] => Array ( [product_id] => 266421 [variation_id] => 0 [options] => Array ( ) [quantity] => 1 [product_name] => Whistle [product_code] => HD245839 [product_price] => 3.9900 [original_price] => 3.9900 [default_currency] => 1 [customer_group] => [product_fields] => Array ( ) ) ) [LAST_UPDATED] => 1349829499 [NUM_ITEMS] => 2 ) [JustAddedProduct] => [CHECKOUT] => Array ( ) )

There is an array for each unique product (in this example there are 2 unique products.) Sometimes there will be just one, sometimes there could be 20 or more unique products.

The value that is important to me is [product_code]. You can see that in the first array, there is [product_code] => HL102668. In the second there is [product_code] => HD245839.

How can I check to see if ‘HD’ exists in any of the [product_code] values? If it does, I need to return false.

Thank you for your help!

Answer 1

Access your sub array :

  $products  = $array['CART']['ITEMS'];

Loop through your sub array :

   foreach ($products as $product)

Check if HD exists in your product_code, with either simple strstr, or with regex using preg_match (if you are comfortable with it).

   if (strstr($product['product_code'], "HD")) {
          // Do your actions
   }
